He had an old mother who was sick and could not walk. While his siblings suggested that they take turns taking care of their mother so that everyone would be responsible, he asked to take her home to take care of her without accepting any contribution from his siblings. Later, his mother asked to return to her hometown because she wanted to be near her neighbors at the end of her life. He renovated the old house, hired someone to take care of her, and regularly visited her on weekends.
Neighbors also know him as a thoughtful housekeeper despite his busy work schedule. Some women in the neighborhood use his image to remind them of their husbands' responsibilities.
During some tea gatherings, he suggested that the neighborhood organize this or that to make the neighborhood more cohesive. He also suggested setting up a fund to help families in the neighborhood when they are in trouble and to reward students with good achievements. He also said that he would find sponsors for the neighborhood to install some sports equipment.
Mr. Bach's image would still be beautiful if it weren't for the recent heavy rain that caused the neighborhood to be flooded. When the people in the neighborhood called each other to go from house to house to help raise objects and move furniture to higher floors to avoid water, Mr. Bach was absent. When people called him to join, he shouted that he was afraid of wading in the rain and getting his feet wet.
After the rain, the whole neighborhood was littered with dirty trash, styrofoam boxes, plastic pots... Families came out to clean up in front of their houses, but in front of Mr. Bach's house, it was still a mess. Someone asked why he didn't do it, and he replied: The trash doesn't belong to my house. Whose trash is it that floats here? Take the styrofoam boxes and plastic pots home, don't affect the traffic coming in and out of my house. Otherwise, wait for the environmental sanitation workers to come and clean up. We pay monthly, why do we have to do it?
Many people asked each other if there was anything unusual about Mr. Bach today. One person said there was nothing unusual. That was just his normal behavior. I listened and observed carefully, he had been “pretending” for a long time but we didn’t pay attention. That’s it, he had been busy with so many things for the neighborhood but none of them had come true, it was all just talk for show.
It is true that there are people who deliberately appear generous to gain influence, but in reality it is only a facade. If you want to judge a person's character, look at their actions, not just listen to their words. Also, do not just look at how they treat their relatives, but look at how they treat the community.
